Thank you for your support at the last election. Because of you, David Cameron is the first Conservative Prime Minister in 13 years and the Government’s plans to build a strong economy and a big society are in full swing. Now, to help us communicate with you, we've launched this new local website.
Labour’s plans to borrow more were today finally confirmed by the vice-chair of their General Election campaign.
In an interview on the BBC’s Sunday Politics, Lucy Powell admitted that Labour would STILL be borrowing by the end of the next Parliament.
This revelation backs up official analysis by the Treasury showing that Labour would borrow £138 billion more in four years.
Labour’s tax and spend policies also descended into further chaos after Ms Powell refused to spell out how Labour would fund the £30 billion of deficit reduction they have committed to:
- Asked four times, she refused to say which taxes Labour would raise
- She also dodged the question of what spending cuts Labour would make
This confirms what we’ve always known – that Labour will borrow more if Ed Miliband gets into Downing Street. And the fact that they’re refusing to admit which taxes they’d raise just adds to a recipe for total economic chaos.
Since 2010, we’ve reduced Britain’s deficit by a half as a share of GDP, so we can deal with our debts and secure our economy for the long term.
But Labour’s plans for more spending, more borrowing and more taxes would wreck the economy – and hardworking taxpayers would pay the price.

People who create jobs were asked their views on Labour and the prospect of a Labour-SNP government. The verdict was clear.
On the prospect of a Labour government, propped up by the SNP:
- “A nightmare”
- “It would just stop everything.”
- “Dangerous for everyone even if it’s a deal-by-deal basis”
- “Destablising”
- “Not good for British business”
On Labour’s attitude to businesses:
- “Labour has a…stridently negative view of business”
- “A segment of the Labour party…has a major problem with business”
- “I don’t think [Ed Miliband] gets it”
On Labour’s plan to raise corporation tax:
- “(It) would undermine confidence.”
- “If corporation tax goes up, some of your marginal investment projects fall away”
- “(Could lead to) international business concluding that the UK was not ‘welcoming”
